break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child:

for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says Yahweh.

and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations;

don’t spare: lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.

and your offspring will possess the nations

and settle in desolate cities.

Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed.

For you will forget the shame of your youth.

You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.

The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer.

He will be called the God of the whole earth.

even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.

but I will gather you with great mercies.

but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer.

for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth,

so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

and the hills be removed;

but my loving kindness will not depart from you,

and my covenant of peace will not be removed,”

says Yahweh who has mercy on you.

behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors,

and lay your foundations with sapphires.

your gates of sparkling jewels,

and all your walls of precious stones.

and your children’s peace will be great.

You will be far from oppression,

for you will not be afraid,

and far from terror,

for it shall not come near you.

Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.

and forges a weapon for his work;

and I have created the destroyer to destroy.

and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment.

This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants,

and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.
